Carlsbad Battles Condo and Brush Fires; No Injuries

Firefighters in Carlsbad responded to two separate fires this week: a brush fire near Camino Minero and the San Marcos city line, and a structure fire at the Windsong Cove condo complex on Kalpati Circle. The brush fire, reported before 3 p.m. Thursday, prompted air support and concerns about potential spread to 100 acres due to dry conditions and Santa Ana winds, but posed no immediate threat to structures. The Windsong Cove condo fire broke out Monday afternoon, leading to full community evacuations and a multi-agency firefighting effort, with no injuries reported and the cause under investigation. Both incidents required significant emergency response and public advisories to avoid affected areas. Rapid containment prevented escalation in both cases. These events underscore ongoing wildfire risks in Southern California linked to weather and vegetation conditions.
